All of a sudden, Kelly Rowland, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, it seemed many main stream artists just turned the clock back on us, and all of a sudden, it was 1996 again. I like dance music, but I don't like this time wharp feeling. Plus, dance music has moved on, it's just, now they've got power house pop singers all over it, whereas before, I had no idea who was singing on the track. Hey Chris, Nice interview by the way

I like dance music, but I don’t like this time wharp feeling. Plus, dance music has moved on, it’s just, now they’ve got power house pop singers all over it, whereas before, I had no idea who was singing on the track.
